This means that as far as the C type system is concerned, both bytea and
text are treated as "struct varlena". It doesn't mean that they are
processed by the same input/output functions, which they aren't.
NUL bytes are preserved in bytea, and used as terminators in text. I
don't find this surprising at all, do you?
